Our electricity infrastructure has undergone and will continue to undergo profound changes in the coming decades. The rapid growth in the share of renewables in electricity generation requires solutions to secure energy systems, especially with regard to the variability, stability and balancing aspects of the electricity system and the protection of the grid infrastructure itself. The purpose of this study is to help design new decision-making methods, specially adapted to highly distributed control architectures for energy networks. These new methods will have to be evaluated in terms of performance, resilience, robustness and tested in the presence of various hazards and even byzantines.
